Starting January 1st, 2015, we’ll be without traditional health insurance for the first time in our lives. As someone who has paid health insurance premiums faithfully for my entire adult life, it feels really, really weird saying that. But the fact is, when we shopped around for health insurance this year, we discovered that healthcare […]

Yesterday, John at Frugal Rules wrote about his family’s struggle to afford the high costs of the new plans offered through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. And, as we all know, his struggles basically mirror the problems my own family has encountered. Like it or not, open enrollment will be here before we […]
